Coming up in the Performing Arts Department:
The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek
By Naomi Wallace
Jan 24-26 @ 8 pm
Jan 26 & 27 @ 2 pm
Directed by Andrea Urice
A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre
Winner of the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, Naomi Wallace is a powerful, lyrical writer who incisively explores the underbelly of society. In The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek, Wallace gets beneath the skin in this strikingly poetic play set in a small town clutched within the grip of the Depression. A train passes through the community each day, a reminder that another world exists outside the dying town. As the train rumbles over the nearby trestle, two teenagers taunt each other with dangerous games of "chicken." One game is literal--can they outrun the train across the trestle? The other is more erotically charged.

Measuring the Progress of Measure for Measure!

4 Ways of Reading a Scene (FREE)
Come join Annamaria Pileggi, Sean Savoie, Angela Bengford, and Robin Vane present different perspectives on viewing a scene from William Shakespeare's Measure for Measure! In their presentation topics of directing, light designing, scenic designing, and costume designing will addressed. Learn insights on how certain parts come together to create the entire scene!
Measure for Measure, presented by Washington University, is touted as one of Shakespeare's most confounding and “problem plays.” Through the characters of Angelo and Isabella, a battle is waged between justice and mercy. Shakespeare has crafted a play as justice; the nature of power and the need for self-knowledge; the relationship between men and women; and the definition of gender roles and human sexuality – none of these questions appears to be answered definitively by the close of the play. It is its very ambiguity that makes Measure for Measure such a powerful allegory for our time.
